To tell you the truth I dont own a Shadow I built this for a friend of mine.
He tells me everything works with no problems.
Test it let me know what you think.
myhtc I downloaded your ROM first thing this morning. I've been using it all day. I followed the directions on how to install and it worked with no problems, it can't get any simper then that. So far everything I have tried works. I noticed you have the clock on the lock screen that alot of the ROMs don't have. I like the idea you added restart to the settings. Email works good and images are sent and received same size. I am having a little problem with sending and receiving images from MMS, but I don't know if it is because my signal isn't that great and even on WIFI it seems to be having problems. But I keep losing WIFI connentions.i will test it more and get back
Thanks for the reply please do let us know if your having connection problems it does sound like it not that there is anything I can do about it but it would nice to know its not the ROM.
this rom kicks ass
Q: is this rom cid unlocked already
mms is working and the images are sent and received same size. signal isn't that great at my home its not the ROM. and the wifi i have had problimes with it on the phone since I bought a new Linksys ultra range plus router

No it’s not.
My understanding of the CID unlock is that it’s only important when flashing an Official ROM and not necessary for a cooked ROM.
Reason cooked ROMs require softspl to bypass security checks, Official ROMs from other providers can be flashed after being CID unlocked without softspl.
This is just my understanding and it could be very wrong.

Yeah, that's correct. Nice job! i'm flashing the rom as I'm typing this.
@liljay: will do. Just wanted to let you know that I'm by no means an expert with this stuff The Shadow is the first one i've ever worked on. The only reason people might of thought my work was good is that because until Hikey and -MyHTC- made ROMs, mine were the only option for wm6.1.
btw, -MyHTC-, which phone's XIP partition did you port from? I did it from the Q, but didn't know if there were any other options.

Not trying to cut in on the fun (getting a new ROM) but if you don't already know.. the way ROMS go.. there isn't so much as one being better than another.. its more of a matter of a ROM made with the developers thoughts, likes, and ideas in mind.. as how he/she thinks it should be..
so to say that one is better than another comes off as a bit insulting..

I believe there is a post here on the forum I have recently read about this such thing.. we don't need to make comments about making one person better than the other or saying one person's ROM is not as good as the other.. we are all at differ stages of the learning curve..
I agree, perhaps even more a matter of user preference. Both ROMs are very well done, however I happen to like ND4SPD's developer 1.1 edition, cleansed of all the T-Mo extra's.
It's fantastic to have these options.
Thanks ND4SPD & MyHTC for all your hard work.
First of all, really nice job on the rom. It's a lot more organized than mine, for one.
I did find one bug and it confirms kron2's problem. The WiFi loses signal intermittedly. I'm pretty sure its not my router because I have successful connections with a laptop and a desktop to the network. Which WLAN files did you use? If you used the emulator ones, I think it should work. If that doesn't you need to use the Shadow's WLAN SYS files.
I think we need more people to look in to whether the wifi keeps going out because I have the same problem on the t mobile rom I just went back to so I can ship it back to t mobile

I compared all WiFi files from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0, Emulator WM6.1 and this ROM they are all the same.
Then I compared the drivers from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0 and this ROM they are all the same.
So I can assure you that any ROM built with WM6.0 or WM6.1 will be using files and drivers.
Any issues with WiFi connection must be from the manufacture and there are no updates.

I took it from my StarTrek, where it came from before that I dont know.
If I had to guess I would say it came from the Q.

I did not have a shadow or dopod c750 yet. (I use HTC S710)
I cook this rom for one of my friend who use shadow in china.
when i finished it, i upload to fs2you, then my friend download and test it.
I did it blindly, just put the original OEM and SYS from emulator together.
The OEM part come from dopod C750 WM6.0 rom.

Can someone tell me if the original neo homescreen is working properly
Hello,
Due to the fact my that my loved Trinity was stolen two weeks ago, I had to choose a new device.
Though I did not fancy the 4GB memory limitation and the weak battery I made it for the Diamond and it does satisfy my needs except for two points:
1) VoIP issues as everybody knows. (I may start a separate thread for this issue later)
2) an Asian Fonts issue
Unlike for all PDA I have been using so far, when I install Asian Fonts support on my new Diamond, the hard buttons and the directional pad won't work anymore...
No matter I install CE Star, (including a version releases specially to the Diamond) or other CJK support packs, the same issue occurs over and over again. As soon as I uninstall the Asian Fonts, the hard buttons start to work again...
Has anyone here managed to install Asian Fonts support on Diamond without having hard button issues? If so which pack was that?
Thanks in advance for any idea or solutions that never occured on neither Wizard nor Trinity...
My wife got me a diamond for christmas, it replaced an original Touch (vogue). I wonder if I could bother the experts with a few questions..
1. Other than keyboard and memory expansion is there any real benefit to go with a touch pro? I had 2gb expansion on my old touch and never exceeded it.
2. My carrier is sprint, model is DIAM500, ROM 1.09.651.5 Which if any Custom ROM upgrade would y'all recomend,
3. Major complaint: I listen to a lot of audio books. When listening and wearing headphones OR using aux input on sterio, it auto answers even though I have auto answer turned off in phone settings... any ideas.
4. I've installed a new theme, only complaint is home screen limited plug-ins. Does HTC have a TF3D API to expand or is that limited?
5. I have advanced config installed, gyro 2 installed, TFT3d config, and sbp phone suite... any other "essentials" anyone can recomend?
I have limited WM and CE development experience (Ford Sync and WM5 basic apps). Any dev tools a "must have" for development or theme development for this phone?
I have tried to find some of the above answers but have not had much luck, perhaps because of my limited knowledge. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
1 think only the touch pro support the tv out cable
and for development then depend on what you wish to develop
if you wish to develop apps you will need
visual studio if you want to make .net apps and visual studio and wm6 std if you wish
to develop c++ win32 apps
if you just want to make skins ms paint is likely to be enough

Honnestly, it all depends of your needs. Some like to go more all out where as others like to have faster roms in terms of response. So it's really what you want to have.
Also there are different rom versions which do extra stuff. Depends what you want to do.
Make sure you read the HOW TO's section in the ROM Development section.

By plug-ins do you mean the idea to add "tabs" to TFL3D?

Make sure you get yourself a GPS software hahaha
You may want to look at the whole debate behind SensorLock, S2U2 and AutoKeysDisabler (not quite sure of the exact name). SensorLock is what I use and is pretty good for what it does.

If you want to make applications for windows mobile, like Rudegar said you will need Visual Studio.
If you wish only to make tweaks and package them in cabs for other uses to use, consider WinCE Cab Manager.
Enjoy your Diamond
Thanks for the responses guys! Most appreciated.

Will do. Are most ROM's carrier specific (or will I find out in the how to's? )
By plug-ins do you mean the idea to add "tabs" to TFL3D?
Click to expand...

No, not tabls, but the home screen... on mine I only have a clock, call history, and calendar available. I'm used to the old home screen where I could enable which plug-ins to display (e.g. SPB phone suite today plug in). Don't get me wrong, I can adjust just fine if not available...

Yup, got VS 2008 enterprise + WM6 sdk and emulators. Will look into WinCE cab manager. Is HTC going to release an SDK for the TF3D?

1. This answer depends on the user. For those who like texting with one hand and feel that 4gb of internal storage is more than adequate, like myself, then the soft-keyboard only device is fine.
2. As far as custom roms go, the second thing you should look at is getting hardspl on your phone; the first being the CDMA section of this board.
3. an app? an ipod?
4. im sorry that's beyond my limited realm of knowledge. TF3D seems fairly closed to that stuff.

Umm yeah, so... hi.
Hey, I would like to know if I could use a sprint Diamond or Touch Pro on another carrier. The carrier I would like to use it with is cellular south.
Hey, I found your question!! Ok, well since your Diamond is security unlocked, I believe the answer is yes, look into a rom on PPCgeeks.com called Energy Rom, I am using his latest release, there are two posts for Energy Rom so make sure you get the newest one, anyways, included in this rom is what he calls Carrier Provisioning, it has Sprint as well as Cellular South in there.
Let me know how it works out for you!
EDIT: Hey, I figured I should link you to the page so you dont have to hunt!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
click the blue button that says "Download" NOT the one that says "Download all Roms Here"
So once I unlock and install the rom, how exactly do I activate it over cellular souths network if it came from sprint? and thank for reply lol I never got replys on my questions except for battery issues.
Also do you have info for me about the touch pro, becaue im fixing them and want to flash them to cellular south because thats the most popular carrier where i am.
Ok, from what I understand about switching carriers is this, once you use the carrier provisioning, you need to use the attached program called Phone Codes.cab, what this does is allows you to do a manual setup of the phone, on a stock rom(shipped rom) you would do this by going to the dial pad and typing in ##somenumber#, but that doesn't work on most custom roms so someone(cant remember who to give credit to, SORRY DEV) made this app to access the hidden setup menus. Call cell south and tell them you are doing a manual activation of your new phone and that you need the pin number used to log in to the setup, then have them tell you what to change and what to change it to! I know it sounds like a lot, but its really not, also if you dont think you can do this alone, just install the phone codes.cab and go to a cell south location and ask a tech guy to do the setup, but make sure to tell them they have to use the program because they cant access it through the dial pad!
Wow, that was a mouthful
As far as the touch pro, as long as its a cdma phone, you might be able to program it to cell south, I have never used that phone unfortunately so I don't want to give you terrible advice. I will always try to help since XDA has always been good to me!
Thank you so much for the info!!! You really helped, could you recomend me a rom for my touch diamond? I like eye candy and performance, I always have problems with custom roms "fm radio not working, gps not working, data not working... etc...
I have tried almost every rom I could find, I have to say there are three that stood out, 1st is Moonscapex's "1.6"(fast, light on mem, and a beautiful black theme), 2nd is "Very Lt. Sense" from Dev O.a.T.(I liked this one because it includes Max Sense, I think its the only rom for the Diamond that does, but it uses up a bit more mem), the 3rd is "Energy Rom" from Dev NRGZ28( my personal favorite, it is good on mem, has in my opinion a beautiful theme, and is highly customizable). So those are just my favorites, I still use my Sprint Hero as a daily phone, so I have had an opportunity to flash a lot of roms and add-ons to my Diamond and I can honestly say there are bugs in quite a few roms but the three I suggested are the most stable I have used.
Now for the fun stuff, I am an early adopter of the android platform, so I am of course going to suggest XDAndroid, this is not flashable, I mean it will not replace WM, think of it as Parallels(a virtual machine), it is fairly simple to add to your phone, it is not the most functional at this point but the Devs involved are working very hard, and it is working well enough at this point that you can run it and see if you like Android(I know you will), and I think its great that we have a choice of 1.6/2.1/or 2.2!!
Also, XDA is great, really my favorite community, so it embarasses me to say this, but for roms for our CDMA Diamonds PPCGeeks.com is the place to go.
Ok, well let me know if there is anything else

and all that is done so what do I do?
Are you trying to use the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker? You know, the one that has never worked on any released ROM newer than 7008, uses a certificate that expired a couple months back, and has big bold-text warnings on its threads on XDA-Devs telling you that it doesn't work anymore?
If you have a ChevronWP7 Labs token, and that's not working, then you may want to take that up with the ChevronWP7 folks. The original unlocker not working is both known and expected, though.
